Social Robotic Surveillance and Manipulation
In this work, we examine the potential harms of social robotic surveillance and manipulation to robot users and society. We discuss these potential harms through the lenses of the sociological theories of surveillance capitalism as detailed by Zuboff, and governmentality as proposed by Foucault. To map and address these risks, we contribute: 1) An initial multilevel theoretical framework of harms on the micro-, meso- and macro-levels of society, …

Recently, several works have explored if and how robotic coaches can promote and maintain mental well-being in different settings. However, findings from these studies revealed that these robotic coaches are not ready to be used and deployed in real-world settings due to several limitations that span from technological challenges to coaching success. To overcome these challenges, this article presents VITA, a novel multi-modal LLM-based system th…
Participant Perceptions of a Robotic Coach Conducting Positive Psychology Exercises
This article presents a qualitative analysis of participants’ perceptions of a robotic coach conducting Positive Psychology exercises, providing insights for the future design of robotic coaches. Participants \((n=20)\) took part in a single-session (avg. \(31\pm 10\) minutes) Human–Robot Interaction study in a laboratory setting. We created the design of the robotic coach, and its affective adaptation , based on user-centred design research and …
Robots as Mental Well-being Coaches
The last decade has shown a growing interest in robots as well-being coaches. However, insightful guidelines for the design of robots as coaches to promote mental well-being have not yet been proposed. This article details design and ethical recommendations based on a qualitative analysis drawing on a grounded theory approach, which was conducted with a three-step iterative design process which included user-centered design studies involving robo…
Social Robot Co-Design Canvases
Design teams of social robots are often multidisciplinary, due to the broad knowledge from different scientific domains needed to develop such complex technology. However, tools to facilitate multidisciplinary collaboration are scarce. We introduce a framework for the participatory design of social robots and corresponding canvas tool for participatory design. The canvases can be applied in different parts of the design process to facilitate coll…
